To clarify, does this then mean that one can never allow a protected method
from class A to have friend access to class B? While this may be in the
standard, it doesn't make sense to me as the friend declaration is not
*calling* the protected method, but allowing the protected method friend
access to itself, which is completely different.
Also, does this then carry over to friend classes? As in ...
class A
{
public:
void pubFunc();
protected:
void protFunc();
};
class B
{
protected:
friend class A;
};
Does this then mean that A::protFunc() doesn't have protected access to B?
